I run an art group at an activity centre supporting vulnerable people. Jeremy is a former member I used to encourage to collaborate with me on pieces. Talkative and funny, with remaining one tooth poking up from his lower gum like a monument to fallen comrades, Jeremy claimed to play guitar in a biscuit based rock band called Eddie and the Hobnobs, though I never saw any evidence of this. Blue Monday is a slightly mournful portrait of Jeremy; to explain his mood he created a list of all the money he was due to pay out that week.
